The FireFish Arts Festival, planned on Broadway on Oct. 6 and 7, has received the official welcome from the city of Lorain.

On Oct. 2, City Council approved a resolution supporting and welcoming the third annual festival, which starts the evening of Oct. 6 and continues the next day.

The free event will use Broadway and its nearby alleys, fire escapes, vacant lots and storefronts for stages and venues “for the blazing flashes of art, music, dance and fire performances” during the festival.

The city commended FireFish organizers by sharing in an excerpt from the festival mission statement: “The FireFish lights the way to a new future and vision for our city and region — where the arts and artists join with the community to help lead us into a new era of innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship.”
